I’ve been upgrading my current system since 2011. It finally gave out on me. It hasn’t successfully turned on since I unpacked it from the move. I keep getting a hardware error. Something on the motherboard probably burned out. Who knows. But it did give me an excuse to buy a new system. I’m hoping this one will last me a few years, at least. I intended to get more RAM, but there was a free upgrade for 16GB to the DDR4-3200 (up from 3000). I figured I could always buy another 16GB later. Will I even need it? Plus this thing has 32GB of Optane memory, which I don’t even know what that is.
What else may I have missed getting or will regret later?
